| viewer|170 | Hi | 00:55 |
| viewer|170 | Anyone there? | 00:55 |
| i- | viewer|170: hello | 01:02 |
| viewer|170 | Hi, if there's anyone there, I'd really appreciate your help | 01:03 |
| viewer|170 | I've been unable to find the system requirements for the latest version of the OS. Can anyone tell me or point me in the right direction? | 01:03 |
| i- | The minimum is probably about 512-768 mb of ram and an 700 MHz CPU, since that's what the Ubuntu (Unity) system requirements say (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements) | 01:05 |
| viewer|170 | You think that low would be enough? The Ubuntu download page recommends 2GHz and 2GB of RAM. I need to have decent performance on a relatively low-powered machine | 01:08 |
| viewer|170 | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 01:08 |
| mparillo | I find for light usage, I can run Kubuntu on a 1GB netbook. | 01:12 |
| viewer|170 | What do you mean by light usage? At which point would you say that it starts losing performance? | 01:14 |
| mparillo | Web browsing or light doc editing in Libre office. No heavy games beyond kblocks. | 01:16 |
| mparillo | I have found Kubuntu to be the lightest KDE distro for my netbook or a 1GB VM. YMMV | 01:16 |
| viewer|170 | Thanks mparillo, I'll try it out then | 01:17 |
| data-tom | I need some help I'm running KDE v5.6.5 KDE Frameworks v5.23.0 on a laptop with 8GB:RAM Intel:i5-6300U HD Graphics 520 & things on my screen are jitter like when i move my mouse or scroll a window or even move a window. apps menu is slow coming up etc... | 01:19 |

| DarthFrog | Hi. I'm running Kubuntu 16.04.1. Dolphin won't open an audio cd, says that audiocd is an unknown protocol. kdemultimedia-kio-plugins is installed. Anyone have any ideas? Google turns up nothing useful. | 01:43 |
| Omnifrog | Question: Can you install Kubuntu (or any distro) to an unmounted drive or partition from already booted-from-a-hard drive system (ie. not an install CD) ? | 02:06 |
| Unit193 | Omnifrog: So, you want to debootstrap a system? | 02:11 |
| Omnifrog | just to clarify, say I boot up my system and my / drive is /sda1 | 02:12 |
| Omnifrog | is there a way to install a new distro to /sdb1 without putting a CD in and restarting the computer? | 02:14 |
| Omnifrog | obviously I mean /dev/sdx# | 02:16 |
| Unit193 | You'll have to restart to get into the new OS, though. | 02:17 |
| Omnifrog | well yeah, I know that part | 02:17 |
| Unit193 | Sure, just trying to be as clear as possible, yes. And yes, if it is a different partition and you don't want to mess with your *current* partition, then yes. | 02:18 |
| Omnifrog | how? | 02:18 |
| Omnifrog | do you need the install CD/DVD? | 02:19 |
| Omnifrog | can you do it entirely in software from the ISO? | 02:20 |
| Omnifrog | will it ask you if you want to upgrade to Windows 10? | 02:21 |
| Omnifrog | I NEED ANSWERS! | 02:21 |
| Unit193 | Oookay, Ubuntu docs are dated... You don't need the ISO, in theory if you do it live as long as debootstrap is installed you'll need nothing additionally. | 02:22 |
| Unit193 | Omnifrog: It may not be the most easy thing to do, do you have specific reasons for needing to do this, btw? | 02:24 |
| Omnifrog | yeah, I have an old (very old) installation of open suse on a drive in this box | 02:25 |
| Unit193 | Basics are: mount it to a dir, debootstrap it all, mount dev and other needed filesystems there, chroot in, install the kubuntu-desktop task with apt-get install kubuntu-desktop^ | 02:25 |
| Unit193 | OK, no idea how to do it from Suse. | 02:25 |
| Omnifrog | no no, my main boot OS is Kubuntu | 02:26 |
| Omnifrog | the partition with open suse is what I want to reclaim | 02:26 |
| Omnifrog | and convert to a new backup boot drive | 02:27 |
| Unit193 | Oh good then. | 02:28 |
| Omnifrog | seems like DVD install might be more simpler | 02:28 |
| Unit193 | Yep, it certainly is easier. But the question is, which is more fun? ;) | 02:28 |
| Omnifrog | just have to be careful about device names | 02:28 |
| Omnifrog | the most fun option is the safest option | 02:29 |
| Omnifrog | restoring shit from multiple sources is muchly not fun | 02:30 |
| Unit193 | So yes, official DVD installer with ubiquity it is. | 02:30 |
| Omnifrog | this begs the question though ... | 02:31 |
| Omnifrog | why is this not an option ? | 02:31 |
| Omnifrog | like... in a menu somewhere? | 02:31 |
| Unit193 | Ubiquity is the default installer, you never actually see the name. Sorry about that. | 02:31 |
| Omnifrog | I mean, even for enterprise applications I can see that feature being useful | 02:33 |
| dbrom | Anyone using handbrake these days | 02:43 |
| Omnifrog | I've used it a couple times | 02:59 |
| Omnifrog | I had no idea what I was doing | 02:59 |

| plusEV | Hi, I am in need of urgent assistance.I just came home from vacation and I am sitting on a train. I was stupid trusting that the wifi on this train was stable enough to do system updates. Now my Discover app has been sitting on 10% done for the last hour. If I try closing Discover I get the following message: Could not close the application, there are tasks that need to be done. | 14:02 |
| plusEV | I am worried I brick my system when I have to close the laptop down and exit the train in 50 minutes from now. | 14:03 |
| plusEV | what can I do? | 14:03 |
| genii | If muon doesn't time out by when you have to turn the machine off, use ps to find it's PID and then use kill on the PID number | 14:04 |
| plusEV | Kubuntu 16.04, Kernel: 4.4.0-28, KDE Plasma 5.6.5, KDE Frameworks 5.23.0 | 14:05 |
| yossarianuk | plusEV: what I would do is (1) kill the process - also check forany running apt + dpkg processes. (2) do a 'sudo apt update' (3) do a 'sudo apt-get -f install ' | 14:05 |
| plusEV | so just kill moun in htop? | 14:06 |
| yossarianuk | (4) do a 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 14:06 |
| yossarianuk | (change 3 and 4 around actually | 14:06 |
| plusEV | lol im such a newblet with htop. When I try to kill stuff it gives me 30 different send signal. | 14:10 |
| plusEV | what to choose? sigterm? | 14:10 |
| yossarianuk | signal 9 is direct kill. | 14:10 |
| genii | Yes, 9 | 14:11 |
| plusEV | ty | 14:12 |
| plusEV | all right praying to RNGsus that this reboot works. | 14:19 |
| plusEV | sweet guys. thank you both for quick assistance. :) | 14:23 |
| plusEV | Lesson learned. Do not do updates on the train. | 14:23 |
| yossarianuk | plusEV: you could always use 'sudo apt-get -d dist-upgrade' | 14:24 |
| yossarianuk | this just downloads packages | 14:24 |
| yossarianuk | not installs | 14:24 |
| yossarianuk | so if connection is lost it doesn't matter | 14:24 |
| plusEV | yossarianuk: That is nice to know. ty. | 14:25 |
| plusEV | yossarianuk: I know not to do this on train WiFi really, but I brainfarted and I was thinking using VPN mattered. Of course it does not ;) | 14:27 |
| plusEV | later | 14:29 |

| genii | Audio CDs don't have a file system | 16:16 |
| DarthFrog | genii: Yeah but it used to use the kio-audiocd slave to open the disk and show the tracks as WAV, MP3 or Ogg files. Now, it doesn't open the disk at all. | 16:17 |
| genii | DarthFrog: Is libcdio-cdda1 installed? | 16:19 |
| DarthFrog | I'll check. | 16:20 |
| DarthFrog | No. Installing now. | 16:21 |
| DarthFrog | genii: no joy. But K3B sees it fine. So that's my work-around. | 16:24 |
| BluesKaj | DarthFrog, 16.04 point release is supposedly delayed til next week , so all upgrades aren't available yet | 17:00 |
| genii | Oddly, the ubuntu-announce mailing list had the announcement for the point release on July 22 saying it was out already, no retraction or following announcement that it was delayed. | 17:09 |
| genii | However, the !ltsupgrade factoid reflects the delay | 17:10 |
| BluesKaj | DarthFrog my vesion is still plain 16.04 and the cd and dvd disks are recognized as media in dolphin, What does wodim --devices show ? | 17:21 |
| genii | Might need some gvfs things | 17:22 |
| DarthFrog | K3b didn't work. Says can't find libcdparanoia but libcdparamoia0 is installed. | 18:13 |
| DarthFrog | I give up. :-( | 18:16 |
| BluesKaj | DarthFrog, What does wodim --devices show ? | 18:16 |
